A mother-of-three was discovered dead inside a freezer in her own home in England.
Carolann Barraclough, 37, died after “blunt force head trauma”, The Sun reports an inquest into her death heard.
Her husband David, 45, was charged with murder the day after her body was found.
Paramedics made the grim discovery in Horbury, West Yorkshire, on March 6 after a concern for safety report.
West Yorkshire Police launched a murder probe and reassured concerned locals that they are not seeking anyone else in connection.
Barraclough appeared at Leeds Magistrates’ Court on March 9.
An inquest into the mum’s death was suspended, pending court proceedings.
But the coroner said that it appeared that she had been found in a freezer at her home address.
Cards and floral tributes were laid at her home, including a message describing Carolann as a “beautiful and amazing sister”.
At the time of the discovery, DCI Stacey Atkinson, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said it was a “complex” case, and anticipated the investigation may continue for some time.
She said: “Complex inquiries remain ongoing at Ken Churchill Drive and will be for a number of days as we investigate what has taken place there.”
She added: “Work to formally ID the woman found at the address remains ongoing, but we do think it is Carolann, and specially trained officers continue to support her family.
“We recognise this incident will cause concern locally and I can advise residents we are not seeking anyone else in connection with the matter.”
